A Question of Courage: Cover Reveal

Yes, I know. Two book related posts back to back. What in the world? I just couldn't restrain myself from supporting these rising author friends of mine. I've done several posts featuring Jesseca Wheaton's books—I recommend them all! To give you an idea, I've beta read multiple of Jesseca's books and written the back cover copy for her first two novels:
The Silent Blade
A Question of Honor


Now, she is releasing the cover for her next historical fiction World War II novel, A Question of Courage, Book Two in her series, Questions of War. I'm so excited for you, Jesseca! Congratulations!

A Question of Courage doesn't release until some time in October, but she is sharing her cover with the world today! Now, be prepared to be amazed . . .


Tada! It's lovely, Jesseca! Thank you for sharing this with us.

~Synopsis~
A man. A decision. A destiny.

Rafe Sullivan never imagined the war would come to his doorstep. But when Pearl Harbor is attacked and America's focus suddenly shifts to the pacific, he finds he can't ignore the problem anymore.
Leaving the life he loves behind, he joins up to do what he does best. Fly.
Yet, nothing could have prepared him for the horrors of war, and the struggle that is going on in his own heart. As an outstanding navy pilot, he is stationed on one of the few Pacific carriers. But could God be calling him to step out in faith, and go beyond the call of duty?

Lily Wilson gives her all to help the hurting community around her. With the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the war is brought home to many American families. And as a nurse, she longs to be able to relive some of the suffering. Yet, her own grief is still fresh in her heart, and though she's made the decision to get on with her life, she can't seem to leave the past behind. When healing at last comes, the guard she placed around her heart slowly begins to crumble.
But when she receives the news she hoped she would never again hear, can she trust that God’s plan is always right?

Arthur Warrington saw the Navy as an escape from the life he left behind. And it seems good for him. He is able to forge new friendships and distance himself from his past. But when his best friend makes a decision that rocks his world, he is left grappling with the question: what is true courage?

Three lives. One War. And a search for the Courage to go on.

~About the Author~
Jesseca is a 19-year old daughter, sister, and a child of God. Her days are spent reading, cooking, spending time with siblings, or playing piano. And writing, of course! At an early age words fascinated her, and her love for the printed page has only grown. She lives with her parents and seven siblings in the sunny state of Kansas, and she’s convinced there’s no place like home. Though, being in the sky is pretty awesome, too.

You can find Jesseca on her website, blog, Amazon, GooglePlus, Pinterest, and Instagram, in addition to Goodreads. (See link above in the synopsis.)

I'm looking forward to October! Here's a toast to Miss Wheaton—for many more marvelous stories!

A Question of Honor Cover Reveal

(In advance, I apologize for the odd formatting at the bottom of the page. It does that when I copy and paste certain things.)

At long last, my good friend Jesseca Wheaton is releasing the cover for her latest book, A Question of Honor, the first in her series “Questions of War.” This book captivated my heart with the first words and enraptured me throughout its pages. I quickly found myself lost in the tale, in love with the characters, and lamenting with them in their trials. I'm so happy to be apart of her cover reveal! Without further ado, I present . . .


Isn't it powerful? And here is her book summary:


A man. A child. A war.
When German soldiers invade France during World War II, young Joyanna's perfect world is shattered. In the hands of those who hate her, she battles to comprehend why people can be so ruthless and cold toward those whom they have never met.
David Sullivan, pilot in the Royal Air Force, was certain he would never hate, but a painful loss forces him to either reconsider or do the inconceivable—forgive. He is suddenly challenged by the realization that doing God's will is not easy, but most important. With the lives of freedom-fighters relying on him, he must learn the difficult lesson that he is not in control, but merely one who must surrender his heart of obedience to One greater.
A sudden turn of events lands Joyanna and David in the same country—but for far different reasons. When their paths cross, David finds he must make a decision that will affect them both for the rest of their lives.
Will he chose vengeance, or will he let his life be ruled by a higher standard? A standard of Honor.


I'm absolutely in love with A Question of Honor, and I can't wait for it to be released March 3, 2017. That's right! Just one month away this delightful tale will be revealed to the public. I'm so excited! Congratulations, Jesseca, and thank you so very much for allowing me to be a part of the process of your book.
